Hi All,

Thank you for your replies:D

I understand the time difference as I'v even stayed up until 1am and phoned SA DEC and spoken to them about my sons Educational needs. They were brilliant and very helpful (really friendly people there).

I am trying to find out if we get State Sponsorship to Adelaide - because this is temporary residency - will we have to pay for my sons Education & medical costs for our family?

Also posted a message about my OH's Career. He's a "Procurement Manager" in the Aerospace Industry i.e. Military, fighter jets etc. Can't seem to match his skills to the points system as it's Specialised. But when we went to the London Expo 2 wks ago - the Representatives from the SA Gov and the Manager on the Hayes stand said that SA has a great demand for "Procurement" and we won't have a problem getting in and he'll easily get a job. But main prob is - we can't seem to match it to the points system.

I was getting annoyed because I know there are LOADS of people on this forum and alot heading to SA too. There are MODS on here and Migration Agents and people who have gone through the process - but no one replied. It does get disheartening when this is the main Forum we use pertaining to our move to Adelaide. Agents don't give you much of an answer until you start handing over the cash. We'll thats been our experience. I'm not talking about Agents on here by the way - as I'v never had any contact with them.

Thanks again

When I was stuck with visa questions that I couldn't find the answers to I started emailing various migration agents. I just copy and pasted the same email to all of them and got loads of replies back which were really helpful and enabled me to go and apply successfully on my own.

Lots of them will give you some free help before taking you on as a client. i.e. Try before you buy.

Also try some of the other forums such as GoMatilda

Well my electricity was off all morning due to the really heavy rain so I went shopping instead. My PC won't work without Electric even though some people think it's powered by mouse (you know who you are :p)

I have no idea about state sponsorship, procurement (don't even know what that is! :o), or how much you would have to pay for schools on a temporary visa (I don't think you have to pay any more than the rest of us, but not 100% sure. Mine kids fees range from $180 - $285 per year for public school). I have given you all the info I can think off about schools and Austism too. So sorry, that's as much as I have for you I'm afraid. :)

I'm getting pretty darn peeved - I'v posted a few messages in the last few days about SA state sponsorship and education and my OH's Career and not one person in the relevant areas have replied!

Beginning to think I don't post enough on here for people to warrant posting a reply! What does a person have to do! I have a child with Autism - I cannot sit on this forum 24/7 and become part of the furniture. But please all I'm asking for is a bit of assistance but not getting it. I thought thats what this Forum was for:curse:

RANT OVER! :(

Doh! I just worked out what you meant. You meant cliquey not clicky (like giving the mouse a good work out).:rolleyes:

Maybe that is why people skimmed past this thread;)

If you require specific information and are not finding it after posting a couple of times on the same subject then perhaps it's that your topic is too specific for the other posters here. For the most part we are simply other everyday people who have emigrated. If you require specific information you should go to the relevant authorities...ImmiSA, which seems to have information on education. For your husband's job you could easily search the job listings...A Google search will give you both www.careerone.com.au and www.seek.com.au which you can search by job title, city, salary, etc. Bear in mind that Adelaide is a small city and as such there is not an abundance of professional work.

Failing finding the information on your own, you could also do like many of us have had to do and pay for the information. For health (autism) related questions you should try Ian Harrop Click Here.

Hopefully my post is up to your standards of helpfulness.

Like previous posters have said your requests are very specific, people will answer when and if they can, but going off on one isnt really going to inspire people to spend their time typing their answers!!

That said I see you are heading to my neck of the woods, I really hope if you say "Hello" to me one morning I do reply or you might "rant" at me in the car park!! :rofl::rofl:

Suggest as your case is quite unique that you start parting with cash for information rather than getting arsey with folk on here who probably don't have the experience to deal with your query.

In general, if someone CAN help on here, then they WILL help!!!
There's probably a miriad of reasons why you've had no response - some of them might be that no-one knows the answer (heaven forbid!!!), or that perhaps they are out making the most of a bank holiday (heaven forbid!!!)......

The number of responses you get on here have Jack to do with the amount of posts you have made - probably quite the opposite in fact!!! :rofl: (well, in my case anyway - the more I post, the more they ignore me :o:( )

So, take a chill pill and stop being so paranoid! :)
